Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Peel the potatoes and onion and grate them straight into the water to limit browning.
  2. Drain well, then wrap the grated mixture in a clean towel or cheesecloth and twist tightly to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the beaten eggs, flour (or breadcrumbs), salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Heat a generous layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon in 2 to 3 tablespoons of mixture per fritter, flatten slightly, and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  5. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve hot.
